Not saying that his speech was right, but there's a better than average chance he has some experiences with those guys, no? It is funny to watch people vent sometimes though.

Well, he seems to be the guy who tells it like he sees it. I wonder if it had any effect.....

I remember as a kid, messing with fire crackers and stuff, modifying them to make bigger booms etc. In hindsight, as a parent now, quite foolish. However, I'm sure many of us here have done similar things.... In addition to the use of 'prosecutorial discretion' you might think they'd apply...

Not to mention the fact that you will likely get blank examples in your handouts.

Dude.

Good post Kev. I was wondering about the guts. Unlike the M4 family, it doesn't look like it has a conventional or even small buffer spring assembly. Is it all internal to the body of the weapon and if so is it's rate of fire comparable or faster? I'm not too familiar with the PDW style...

I sure love how people who disagree with the politics behind the missions always feel the have the right to speak for the poor soldier who doesnt want to be there or don't know why they're fighting. Whatever. I doubt this young person formulated these ideas on his own; his parents likely...

They closed the comments pretty quickly after the Somalia comment...Brutal.

Whether or not he's made of the kind of material we want, he still asked if he should bother. Without speaking for the masses here, it would seem that in the opinion of some of the professionals on this site, only some of whom have waded in, I think generally we'd prefer it if you didn't. If...

BZ Tess. We all have friends and colleagues who are affected. I'm happy that the culture change is still moving forward, in the right direction. Cheers, HH

George, I'm not disagreeing with you. That was the latest and greatest -  and I know that I need to back up my statement with supporting docs and refs. I'm waiting to get it re-sent to me so I can post it here. It's a very recent change - only weeks old. MTF. Cheers, HH

It's been released to the PRes to actively recruit permanent residents. My recruiters are submitting applications for permanent residents based on the email sent to us. Waiting on someone to re-send me the email and I will post the guts - Beachbum, the exceptional circumstances are not new...

George, it is indeed from a CF related source. It was emailed to me on the DIN via recruiting contacts. I'll look for the email but this is directly from the recruiting site  "Citizens of another country  who have landed immigrant (Permanent Resident) status in Canada may also be considered for...

You no longer need to be a citizen to join the CF. Permanent resident will do to get you started. I'd head on down to a CFRC and ask them flat out. Bring your documentation and let the system decide.

I'm surprised Dr Evil hasn't jumped all over this. I wonder if there is a little tank inside for the sharks with lasers on them.

What I also should have said is that our mess food, while sometimes lacking a little is much better than some if not many or most of our allies....

Each meal served in one of our messes should contain a little toothpick stuck in the meat serving of the day that says "may or may not contain meat and or meat byproducts." In a nutshell mosher, you'll find that whatever calories you can consume during your training will be welcome ones...The...

Well, at least you're across the street from the Westies. I win.

I've always had issues with bulk served fish...I just don't do it! I've also never been ok with the idea that fish in a bag in some sort of mystery sauce is right....Now, I know it makes no sense, but its my thing! Now, bulk served fish isn't sushi or sashimi...I am in full support of all things...

I'm having chest pains just looking at the website.
